20kw 144v High-Performance Rear Drive AC Induction Electric Car Motor
The motor provided by Green Motor Tech is installed in the original position of the combustion engine. This is achieved by using a spline coupler and an adapter plate to securely attach the motor to the original transmission of Fiat 500 model. This setup ensures a seamless integration of the electric motor with the car’s existing drivetrain, preserving the functionality of the vehicle’s original transmission while enabling electric propulsion.
When selecting the appropriate motor model for the conversion, there are several factors to consider to ensure the best possible performance and compatibility with the vehicle: Motor Power, Cooling Method, Torque and Rotation Speed, Maximum Speed and Mileage per Full Charge, Battery Voltage and Capacity, Component and Vehicle Space, Kit Price.
Additional Considerations:
Vehicle Speed Goals: You should clearly define the desired speed and performance level after the conversion. Are you aiming for city commuting speeds, or do you want the vehicle to maintain highway speeds? The motor’s power and torque should be chosen accordingly.
Horsepower of the Original Engine: Understanding the horsepower of the original combustion engine can help determine the appropriate motor power for the electric conversion. The electric motor should provide similar or better performance to match the original driving experience or desired upgrades.
Retaining the Original Gearbox: It’s also important to consider whether you want to retain the original gearbox or if you plan to use a direct-drive system. Retaining the gearbox can offer advantages, such as better control over the vehicle’s performance in different driving conditions, but it may require more complex integration. A direct-drive system may simplify the setup but could alter the vehicle’s acceleration or top speed.
In summary, the ideal electric motor solution will depend on the specific goals for the vehicle’s performance, the compatibility of components, and budget considerations. By carefully evaluating these factors, you can select the most suitable motor, battery, and related components to create a well-balanced and efficient electric vehicle conversion.
144v AC Electric Motor Controller
In an oil-to-electricity kit for Fiat 500, the motor controller plays a crucial role:Motor speed and torque control. The motor controller regulates the speed and torque of the electric motor. It does this by adjusting the voltage and current supplied to the motor windings.
- Energy efficiency optimization.The motor controller helps to optimize the energy efficiency of the electric motor.
- Safety and protection functions
- System integration and communication
- The motor controller serves as a key interface between the electric motor and other components of the vehicle’s control system.
- Please be noted the system wire harness, gas pedal, gear stall switch switch are included in this controller link, we provide system wire diagram for each components so you will easily know system connection.
500W High-Efficiency DC to DC Converter/Adapter – 144V to 12V for Electric Vehicles
- The battery pack for Fiat 500 typically has a high – voltage output. For example, the battery voltage of many electric vehicles may range from 48V to 800V. However, different components in the vehicle, such as the low – voltage electrical systems (usually 12V or 24V), require a stable and lower voltage supply. The DC-DC converter steps down the high – voltage DC from the battery to a lower, regulated DC voltage (12V in this case). This allows it to supply power to components like lights, infotainment systems, and various sensors that operate on a lower voltage standard.
- If the original vehicle had a 12V electrical system for accessories and now has a high – voltage battery due to the electrification process, the DC – DC converter ensures that these 12V components can still work properly.
CMVTE Car Dashboard Display E-620 Instrument Cluster
- This is a 12V instrument cluster for Fiat 500, which can indicate converted vehicle speed, battery capacity (SOC), turning signals, Forward&Reverse gear etc.
- The design and shape is not designed specially for Beetle/Bug, because original meter is small round type, but due to CAN BUS in the controller and battery BMS, the original car meter can only indicate speed of vehicle, can not indicate battery capacity. So you can choose to use a new electric instrument cluster like this type or to use a very simple battery capacity meter only, then you can keep the old Beetle meter to show speed, and this new simple battery capacity meter.
- Or you can choose a more premium smart meter for Fiat 500 which combines functions of media& entertainment and speed&battery indicator, except as a normal electric car meter, it also has bluetooth, music and movie player, reverse camera, car play etc. more details you can consult with our sales person.

12V vacuum pump booster
In conventional fuel vehicles, the vacuum assisted brake pump uses the vacuum generated by the engine intake manifold to provide power.
In the process of changing from oil to electricity, the vehicle power system is changed from a fuel engine to an electric drive system, but the brake system still needs help to ensure that the driver can easily press the brake pedal. The vacuum assisted brake pump can maintain this assisted function.
Compatible with the original braking system
Oil to electric conversion kits usually want to use as much of the braking system components of the original vehicle as possible. As an important part of the original brake system, the vacuum booster brake pump can be well compatible with brake pipe, brake caliper and other components.
